Why Oxford
Workflow automation for Oxford research and spinout organisations
Research organisations run on approvals: ethics submissions, grant claims, purchase requests against funding lines, document reviews before anything leaves the building. Most of it moves by email, and email loses things. We build flows that route each request to the right approver with the budget line attached, log every decision against the programme, and assemble grant claim evidence from the systems it already lives in. Quarterly funder reporting stops being an assembly job because the paperwork filed itself as the quarter ran. Spinouts get a second pattern: investor updates that collect their own inputs, and onboarding that provisions a new starter's accounts and equipment on day one rather than day six. Our office is John Eccles House on the Oxford Science Park, on the same park as many of the organisations we serve. Littlemore is a walk away; the rest of Oxfordshire is a short drive.

Power Automate Services
Power Automate is Microsoft's workflow automation platform for connecting the systems you already run and removing the manual steps between them. We map the process, then build flows your team can see into and change: approvals, invoicing, onboarding, document handling, alerts. It connects Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, Dynamics 365, SQL Server and more than 1,000 other systems through built-in connectors, and first builds often run on Microsoft 365 licences you already hold.

POWER Automate QUESTIONS

Answers to the questions UK businesses ask us most about Power Automate.

Can Power Automate handle our grant and ethics approvals?

Yes. We train at John Eccles House on the Science Park or your site, splitting sessions between makers who build flows and leads who own the processes.

Do you offer Power Automate training in Oxford?

Yes. We train at John Eccles House on the Science Park or your site, splitting sessions between makers who build flows and leads who own the processes.

Do you work with organisations outside the science parks?

Yes. Oxford professional firms, manufacturers and public-sector teams use the same service. We cover Abingdon, Bicester, Banbury and Witney from the Oxford base.

Can this integrate with my current systems?

Yes. Power Automate connects Microsoft 365 apps like Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and Excel, plus Dynamics 365, SQL Server, Salesforce, Power BI and Power Apps, through Microsoft's connector ecosystem. Where no standard connector exists, we use APIs, custom connectors or desktop flows and RPA to bring older applications into the loop. (Microsoft Learn)

Do we need internal IT skills?

No. We handle discovery, workflow design, build, permissions, testing, launch and ongoing support. All we need from you are the people who own each process and know how approvals, exceptions and handoffs should really work.

What's the real return on investment?

The return comes from hours saved, fewer manual handoffs, faster approvals and fewer re-keying mistakes. We map your high-volume admin processes first and estimate the monthly time saved before we build anything, so every workflow has a clear business case behind it.

What do I need to use Power Automate?

You need a modern web browser, a Microsoft work or school account, and the right Microsoft 365 or Power Automate licence for the flows you want to run. Some standard connectors come with your existing Microsoft 365 licensing. Premium connectors, desktop flows and attended or unattended RPA need extra licensing, which we spell out for you up front.

Which email addresses are supported?

Power Automate cloud flows need a Microsoft work or school email address. Since 27 July 2025, Microsoft no longer supports personal accounts such as Gmail or Outlook.com for signing in. (Microsoft Learn)

What is Microsoft Power Automate used for?

Power Automate handles repeatable business processes: approval routing, notifications, data entry, invoice handling, staff onboarding, file management, CRM updates and reporting. Cloud flows connect your apps to each other, desktop flows bring RPA to older systems, and AI Builder reads documents and triggers actions from what they contain.
